The southern part of Montgomery County is seeing explosive residential growth on the east side of I-45. And there will be another surge of traffic when the new Exxon-Mobil facility near The Woodlands opens. It expects to employ about 10,000 people.

"We're looking to see what we can do to improve mobility in the area, whether it's expanding the intersections, increasing roadway capacity. We're looking at different alternatives of how we can do that with minimal impact."

And Mullins say they know residents are frustrated but there are no quick fixes.

"You can't reconstruct a road instantaneously. It takes years. Just the design itself can take three to five years if it has to go through environmental impact statements. And then you have the bidding process and the construction process."

The public meeting is from 6:00 to 8:00 Thursday evening at the Oak Ridge Baptist Church in Spring.
